=Abstract=

"This article reviews the observational, laboratory, and field experimental
literatures on interventions for reducing prejudice. Our review places
special emphasis on assessing the methodological rigor of existing research, calling attention to problems of design and measurement that
threaten both internal and external validity. Of the hundreds of studies we examine, a small fraction speak convincingly to the questions
of whether, why, and under what conditions a given type of intervention works. We conclude that the causal effects of many widespread
prejudice-reduction interventions, such as workplace diversity training and media campaigns, remain unknown. Although some intergroup contact and cooperation interventions appear promising, a much
more rigorous and broad-ranging empirical assessment of prejudicereduction strategies is needed to determine what works."
